Funny ping

matthewcstll · 11-30-2012, 02:07 AM

I have a 1914 Erfurt,I was breaking it down like always to clean it. All seemed to be in the right place,but when I insert a loaded clip if you tilt your hand it has a funny ping sound like something is loose. It doesn't make the ping sound with an empty clip.... Or if the clip is not it.. What gives??? Any help would be great!!! Thanks
